“Yeah, that’s her,” he says, his grin getting wider and my curiosity increases about this Levi woman. She must have done something to impress these guys to vote to allow women to patch in. They don’t look like the kind of guys that would vote in a woman just because she’s engaged to someone in the club. Er, two someones I guess.

“Later you’ll have to tell me about MC life. I’m afraid I don’t know much and what I do know is probably inaccurate to some degree.”

Liam smiles fully at that, and my breath hitches at how his smile lights up his handsome face, even more so than usual.

“I’ll hold you to that, Sunshine.” He leans in to place a chaste kiss on my lips, and then playfully swats my thigh. “Now get that sexy ass in there and finish getting ready. The party starts soon.”

My cheeks heat as I watch him walk away. Holy cow, he’s got a nice ass! My cheeks heat as I chastise myself for cursing. He turns to sit down on his bed, and when he sees me staring at him, he cocks an eyebrow at me as he smirks.

Crap, he caught me ogling him again!

My cheeks flame even hotter as I pivot on my heel and rush back into the bathroom, shutting the door again. Even through the door, I can hear the deep rumble of his laughter, the sound sending tingles down my spine.

Shaking my head, I sift through the bags and feel my cheeks heating yet again when I realize Sasha got me some sexy lingerie and underwear. Holy frick... Who the heck would I wear this for? It’s not like anyone’s going to see my pajamas while I’m staying here. And while, yes, Liam kissed me a couple of times, it doesn’t mean I’m just going to hop into his bed.

Taking a deep breath, I pull out the lingerie and take stock of what else she got me. A sigh of relief escapes when I see some normal underwear as well. There are also some skinny jeans, leggings, t-shirts, socks, and flip-flops in the first bag. The other bags have some makeup, shower supplies, hygiene and hair products. I almost do a happy dance when I see a hair dryer, straightener, and a curling iron among them. Quickly, I unbox the hair dryer and straightener before getting to work taming my frizzy hair.

Twenty minutes later, I finish straightening the last portion of my hair and I rummage through my makeup bag until I find my sculpting mud. Opening it, I frown as I see how little I have left—enough for today and maybe one or two more days. I’ll need to run into town tomorrow so I don’t run out. I should probably get some more clothes, too.

And more regular undergarments.

I don’t need a lot of frilly things and I’m not sure my skin would like the lacy bras and underwear Sasha picked out for me. Shaking off my thoughts, I apply the sculpting mud and smooth down my little fly aways.

Taking in my reflection, I hardly recognize myself. My cheeks and neck are still a little pink, and not from the makeup. For once, a real smile tugs at my lips.

I look happy, and for the most part, I am.

Though, that is in part thanks to the man on the other side of the door. Quickly, I put away my things and tidy up so that I’m not leaving a mess behind for Liam.

Grabbing the bags, I inhale deeply and turn the doorknob. Liam looks up from his phone as I walk back into his room and set the bags down on a chair. His eyes darken as his gaze roams over me as he sits up on the bed.

As the silence drags on, I shift in place, feeling uncomfortable under the weight of his gaze. Seeing me shift, he shakes his head and clears his throat as he gets up and walks over to me. His large, rough hand cups my jaw as he tilts my head up as he runs this thumb across my bottom lip.

“Make sure you stick by me tonight, Sunshine. Don’t want my brothers getting any ideas.”

My brow furrows in confusion about what he could be talking about, but then my mind blanks as he lowers his head and kisses me. His other hand moves to the back of my head as he angles me before deepening the kiss.

Shakily, I raise my arms and wrap them around his neck, my hands automatically going to his hair. As my fingers play with his hair, I feel his chest rumble before one of his hands snakes down my side. He grips my hip and pulls me against him. A whimper escapes me as I feel a hard bulge in his pants. My core heats as his grip tightens on my waist.

A knock sounds at the door, breaking the spell. Liam pulls back, breathing heavily. “Let me see who it is, and then we’ll lock up your stuff before heading down.”

All I can do is nod, and when he steps away, my body instantly feels cold. Something that I’m surprised to find I really don’t like.

Once my things are locked up, Timber leads me downstairs after giving me a key to his room. As we pass people, he introduces me. By the tenth person, I’m extremely thankful that almost everyone has on a vest, I mean a cut as Timber calls them, since they have their names sewn onto them.

When we make it to the bar, Timber grabs a beer. “What would you like, Sunshine?”

“C-can I have a bottle of water? I still feel a little dehydrated after today.”

Timber nods and I’m thankful he doesn’t pry. I really don’t want to get into the fact that I’ve never had an alcoholic drink in my life. Mainly because my view on alcohol has been severely tainted due to what I’d seen Preston do while drunk.

The Prospect, who I find out is called Drae, hands me my water and Timber takes my hand before leading me down a hallway. He points out the kitchen and I practically drool at the commercial grade appliances. While I mainly waitressed at the diner, I also helped in the kitchen. My fingers itch to cook something, and at some point I’ll have to make my enchiladas since Timber says he loves them. I’m not sure if they’ll measure up to Susie’s, but there’s only one way to find out.

Timber’s chuckle pulls me out of my thoughts and I feel my face heat. “Sorry—I love to cook, and that kitchen is flippin’ gorgeous! I wonder if they’d let me help cook meals? Or bake!”

“I bet they would. Later we can ask Levi. She oversees all of the meal planning. I’m sure Thor and Dragon would appreciate your help because Levi doesn’t rest as much as they’d like what with her being pregnant with twins and all that.”

My eyes widen at the news. She’s involved with two men and is now pregnant with twins? The woman must have the patience of a saint.
